Effective social behavior requires comprehension of social cues and use of those cues to guide behavior. This study uncovers an amygdala circuit that is necessary for socially driven valuation of environmental cues. The strength of this circuit correlates with social learning, and augmentation of this circuit enhances abnormal social learning.
